The Rochester Police Department is proud to announce that 8 Police Cadets recently graduated from the New Hampshire Police Cadet Training Academy.

The week-long academy is for kids aged 14-20 who have an interest in law enforcement and better themselves through education and professional training. Cadets meet twice a month throughout the school year and are encouraged to attend the NH Police Cadet Training Academy at the end of the school year to challenge themselves even further.

“While most kids spent their first week out of school relaxing, these eight cadets (along with 40 others) challenged themselves, overcame obstacles, and worked together as a team,” said in a recent social media post on the RPD page. “These cadets did an amazing job representing the Rochester Police Cadet Post and should all be proud of their accomplishments.”
